• A study was conducted to evaluate the applicability of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) techniques for determination of metals in composite diets. (rti.org)
  • THE SCIENCE: Elevated pressure decreases the size of the oxygen molecules (Boyle's Law), and increases the volume of oxygen (Charles' Law), enabling up to 1200% more oxygen to dissolve into your blood plasma (Henry's Law). (o2pod.com)
  • He started thinking about how the mortality of the Spanish flu patients was so much higher in the Rockies and he reasoned that it was the low atmospheric pressure and with it low oxygen pressure. (treatnow.org)
  • So, he thought, "What if we gave increased atmospheric pressure and oxygen? (treatnow.org)
  • The increase in blood pressure is promoted by hypoxia and hypercapnia accompanying chronic bronchial obstruction, as well as the influence of vasoactive substances (serotonin, catecholamines and their predecessors). (artery-diseases-info.com)
  • According to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), trees provide many benefits, including the ability to clean our atmospheric environment both directly underneath their canopies, and at a larger, regional scale. (hypoair.com)
  • In addition to the marked improvement in sanitation, on-site treatment of hazardous waste allows operational cost savings for these facilities. (wikipedia.org)
  • Along with the plasma treatment, heat treatment above the glass transition temperature was also conducted on the nanofiber membranes. (bvsalud.org)
  • Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) concludes that the intensity of the free radicals increases from 1.37 to 1.46 (a.u.) after plasma treatment. (bvsalud.org)
  • It was also observed that the capacitance of the nanofiber membranes has increased due to the plasma treatment. (bvsalud.org)
  • Atmospheric pressure microwave digestion was used to solubilize analytes in homogenized composite diet samples, and this procedure was followed by ICP-MS analysis. (rti.org)
  • Raman spectroscopy of PVDF nanofibers identifies a Raman shift from 873 cm-1 to 877 cm-1 (denoting ß-phase) for plasma-treated samples only. (bvsalud.org)
  • The impact test results showed that the atmospheric plasma and heat-treated samples had 86%, 277%, and 92% increases of the d33 value (piezoelectric coefficient) in the case of PVDF nanofibers, MWCNT-reinforced nanofibers, and PAN nanofibers, respectively. (bvsalud.org)
  • Converter technology is an environmentally friendly alternative to other traditional means of waste disposal that include incineration, plasma arc, and landfill dumping in that waste conversion results in a small carbon footprint, avoids polluting emissions into the atmosphere, and results in a usable end product such as biofuel, soil compost, or building material (see also Refuse-derived fuel). (wikipedia.org)
  • Steady-state plasma was generated with a high voltage power source with 1 mA discharge current output and 6 kV discharge voltage, and the gap between tip and the material was maintained to be 1 cm. (bvsalud.org)
  • The main factor in increasing systemic blood pressure is central and regional hemodynamic disorders: an increase in peripheral vascular resistance, a decrease in pulse blood supply to the brain, and hemodynamic disturbances in the pulmonary circulation. (artery-diseases-info.com)
  • In the "pulmonogenic" form, blood pressure rises mainly during severe bronchial obstruction (attack, exacerbation), and in some patients it does not reach the norm and increases with exacerbation (stable phase). (artery-diseases-info.com)
  • Vegetative-vascular dystonia is characterized by a number of signs: palm and foot hyperhidrosis , red and white "dermographism", tremors, vegetative crises such as sympathoadrenal (sudden shortness of breath with a respiratory rate of 34-38 in 1 mn, fever, tachycardia up to 100-120 in 1 min , rise in blood pressure to 150 / 80-190 / 100 mm Hg.
